gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-15 03:15:49

In a stunning reversal, the Japanese auto giant has announced it is rethinking its electrification strategy, signaling that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are no longer the holy grail of its future. The move is a major setback for the EV industry, which is already reeling from the September 30 expiration of federal tax credits that made electric cars competitive with their gas-powered counterparts.
